Simon's pot now was that always half full or half empty ?

Tempting fate! I don't even think I find that funny in any way.. I think I'd stop watching football if that's what was going on all this time..

Please, again, can we avoid anything resembling death wishes and the likes on anyone?
Thanks

a previous poster (sorry can't remember who) mentioned the 11th July as being the date we exited administration five years ago. I think this might be VERY significant to the timing of the hand over of funds

You mean we have to suffer another week of constant speculation of who our new owners will be?

Don't worry, I'm convinced it will be tomorrow (Thursday) as it will be the perfect birthday present. 
Bumped into Nigel martyn tonight but he was with his whole family so I didn't have the gall to start interrogating him on inside information (from being lust's spokesman, I think that's the role he recently took up?)

If a quick read of this thread shows anything, it's that we have no idea when anything is going to happen, and that when it does happen, we don't really know what it is going to be.

Very, very true. Although, I for one like to read all the speculation and the thoughts of all those who are in the know .

No actual news in the locals today. The YEP and YP just recycle the info about Middle-Eastern buyers, expected to happen any time, but nobody's sure about it.

Just a reminder that its weekend today and tomorrow in most of the Middle East - that does not mean there can not be an announcement today but it does mean that any fund transfer or legal process in unlikely to happen today unless the funds are already held in a Bank outside the Middle East.

Latest from LUST.
Over the last few days, Leeds United Supporters' Trust have been deluged with questions and comments from Leeds fans, all wanting news and updates about the ongoing takeover at Elland Road.
L.U.S.T. is committed to maintaining an open and honest dialogue with our 7,000 members, and with the Leeds United fan base in general. We are available via email, Twitter, Facebook, on forums, and at our regular public meetings.
We do everything we can to reply to everyone who has a question or a comment for us, but the level of interest of late has made it next to impossible to answer everybody who wants to have the latest news. Our social media accounts are run by volunteer members of the L.U.S.T. board, and despite their stoic efforts in recent days and weeks - for which we'd like to publicly record our thanks - it isn't possible for them to individually answer everybody who contacts us.
There are certain questions being repeatedly asked that we simply cannot give an answer to. Any announcement about who is involved in negotiations, or when such negotiations will be complete, will come from either Leeds United, or from the "potential investor" that the club announced on 26th June had been granted an exclusivity period while due diligence takes place. At the moment, both sides are prevented from making comments by a confidentiality clause, and we have to respect their right to conduct the negotiations as they see fit.
Due diligence can be a long process, and trying to predict how long this might take will be difficult even for those closest to the deal. At L.U.S.T. we have tried to respond to fans with what we feel are realistic estimates for time-frames, but the only concrete news will come when the club or the investor chooses to announce it.
We understand and sympathise with the desire for information that is so obviously dominating the thoughts of many Leeds fans. We all want to see a swift conclusion to this situation, so that we can concentrate our energies on what we hope will be a bright future for Leeds United. We hope that the club and its potential investor will be as open with the fans as they can, as soon as they can, while still keeping the conditions in place which will allow them to successfully complete the deal.
We would ask all Leeds fans to remember, though, that no answer we can give you will bring the takeover to a conclusion any sooner. The latest known information is that given in the club's statement of 26th June: the club are negotiating exclusively with a potential investor, who are undertaking due diligence at the moment, and a confidentiality clause is in place.
We will not have any more definite information than this until the club and its potential investor decide to release that information. At L.U.S.T., we will continue to do all we can to build an ambitious and successful Leeds United for the future, and we hope that Leeds fans will not have to wait too much longer to hear a positive update. We urge you all, in the meantime, to stand together and be patient until there is news to hear.

I am very impressed with LUST, for the way they have handled both themselves, and the information they are privy to, throughout.
What amazes me though, is how few fans can be bothered to join them, given the millions of idiots out there on Twitter who claim to be supporters.
You can be a free member, there is no cost, so what's stopping you?
Currently we have 7,000 members, 800 of which are classed as shareholders (including me). £5 per annum to be a sponsor and you can stop at any time. £100 for life membership should you wish to do that.
Shareholders get to vote on any LUST activities that require it, and a Lady Godiva is a small price to pay to fund these guys' activities on our behalf.
I reckon we shouldn't be happy until we get 10k, 20k or 40k members - if you agree with what they are doing / have done, then join and give them your support!!
Much of what is currently happening, would not be happening without their calm and professional voice being listened to by outside / interested parties. The more of us support them, the more seriously their voice will be heard within the club we all love.
